Just Good Fried Chicken

Hello fellow foodies! I apologize for not posting in a few days but I'm hoping this yummy comfort food recipe makes up for it! This recipe was inspired by a dear friend of mine whom I think makes the most amazing fried chicken! I never got the exact recipe but I think I figured out a pretty good substitute when I need a fix! I've definitely gotten some great reviews from the family on this one so I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 lbs. chicken pieces (I love drumsticks)
Vegetable oil
2 cups buttermilk
6 large eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 cup corn flour
Salt
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Lawry’s Seasoning Salt
Poultry seasoning
Louisiana style hot sauce

Directions:
Wash chicken and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, poultry seasoning and hot sauce.  Make sure chicken is well coated.  Note: Do not be afraid to coat the chicken well with the hot sauce as it adds more flavor than spice in this process.  Let seasoned chicken sit for at least 20 minutes.

In a medium size bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, and a little salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir until mixed well.

In a large plastic bag or a deep bowl mix all purpose flour, corn flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt and poultry seasoning. Mix well.

Heat vegetable oil in large frying pan or deep fryer. 

Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture and then in flour.  Make sure each piece is fully coated. For crunchier chicken repeat dipping and coating process. Once coated well place in hot oil, cook chicken thoroughly on all sides and until internal temperature is 165 degrees or higher.  Remove chicken when done and place on paper towel to drain extra oil.
 
Voila! Enjoy!
